473rd Verse, Same as the First

[tealin]

Twenty-four hours to Thud! on the wall,*
Twenty-four hours to Thud!
Take one down, fill it up with work and sleep and stuff and try not to think about how long an hour is,
Twenty-three hours to Thud! on the wall!

*Because hours are traditionally measured on clocks, and most clocks can be found on walls.

Huh, must be a new edition. Though, if memory serves, there's something like 'The 25th Discworld Novel!' on my copy of The Truth...

I must say I quite like the new covers from Corgi. They're nice and understated; they aren't a blaze of bright colours like HarperCollins' paperbacks nor are they a mass of writhing dough which is all I see whenever I look at a Josh Kirby cover. The Corgi ones also have the number in the series very discreetly emblazoned on the back (glossy black on matte black, or vice versa) as if that mattered. It's interesting, at any rate.
